Chapter 20: You denied that you knew me after pulling up your pants

It is meaningless to reason with women. Natsuo once again realized this. But the only advantage is that, in such matters, men can never lose. 

"Don't think that because of my momentary mistake, you can really continue with me!" Yūhi Kurenai tried hard to put on a fierce look, but her pretty face blushed in embarrassment. "I'm telling you, nothing happened yesterday!" 

"If you dare to expose what happened yesterday, you're done for!" 

As she spoke, her eyes almost popped out. 

Natsuo: "..." 

Sister, am I not the victim here? Clearly, it was you who forced yourself on me! 

"Of course, last night you were acting completely different." Natsuo muttered softly. 

"What did you say?!" Yūhi Kurenai glared angrily at Natsuo. 

"I said you're right, nothing happened yesterday, I just happened to pass by your house." 

Only then did Yūhi Kurenai's anger subside slightly. She nodded and said, "Since you know it was just a coincidence, then hurry up and leave." 

Why didn't you say that last night? Now you just denied knowing me after pulling up your pants. 

Fine, I'll leave. Is it not okay for me to leave? Natsuo began to get dressed. 

"Wait." 

"What's wrong?" 

Yūhi Kurenai threatened through gritted teeth, "Be careful when you leave, don't let anyone find out. If someone finds out, you're done for!" 

Natsuo: "..." 

But this unexpected encounter didn't bother Natsuo. After all, he had nothing to lose. 

As for Yūhi Kurenai, he didn't think much of her either. The Yūhi Kurenai's family didn't have the same problems as the Mitarashi clan. 

On the contrary, as a staunch ninja clan of the Hokage lineage, the Yūhi Kurenai's family may not have much authority, but they were not lacking in money. 

They had also accumulated a fair amount of ninjutsu, at least not lacking in intermediate and low-level ninjutsu, besides genjutsu. 

Natsuo has always been pure, just looking for a female ninja who is willing to accept his situation and have children with him. 

And obviously, Yūhi Kurenai, as a woman of the new era who is not lacking in money, has outstanding talent, and has a relatively independent personality, unwilling to be a man's appendage, is not Natsuo's target. 

Last night was just an accident. 

When leaving, Natsuo also followed Yūhi Kurenai's instructions, deliberately concealing his figure and leaving without being noticed by anyone. For him, who already had Jōnin-level strength, this was not difficult. 

However... 

"Yūhi Kurenai... Sex without love is an empty experience, but as an empty experience it was one of the most comforting." 

... 

Hokage' Office. 

"Hiruzen, look at the Uchiha clan!" Danzō roared angrily, "They actually hired ninjas from other villages to protect their own family. Is this acceptable?" 

"The esteemed Uchiha clan, even if they have a small population and lack combat power, can still hire ninjas from our Konoha Village!" 

"What kind of reasons might they have for hiring outsiders?" 

He was referring to the external recruitment of Kakuzu by Natsuo. Regarding this matter, Natsuo did not hide anything. 

There are regulations in Konoha that allow outsiders to stay in the village, and the Konoha does not prohibit other ninjas from entering the village. 

As long as they are not wanted criminals, anyone can legally and reasonably enter Konoha. 

Oh... Kakuzu is a wanted criminal, an S-rank missing-nin from the Takigakure. But he can disguise himself, right? 

Of course, things are not that simple, and there are also many conditions and restrictions. 

However, the Uchiha clan, after all, is a prominent family in Konoha, and with the reputation of their clan, they naturally won't be hindered by the procedures. 

"Perhaps they no longer trust the village," Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag on his cigarette, "they might have guessed something and feel that the genocide committed by Itachi may have some connection to certain individuals in the village." 

In the original plot, even Sasuke, who only spent his childhood in Konoha, was able to figure out the problem later on and deduce that Itachi alone was not enough to wipe out the entire clan. 

Moreover, Natsuo has been in Konoha for a long time and is a ninja himself, so he can discover some clues, right? 

Not to mention Natsuo, those big clans are actually quite clear in their hearts. 

Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have revoked Danzo's leadership of Root immediately after the Uchiha clan was annihilated. 

"Hiruzen, we should eliminate the root of the problem!" Danzo said without hesitation, "The matter of the Uchiha clan must never be exposed!" 

"What if this Uchiha Natsuo is someone who hides very deeply, and his existence could pose a threat to the village!" 

"The Uchiha clan possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan!" 

"No! Danzo, you're overthinking it," Sarutobi Hiruzen decisively shook his head, "You and I have seen his information, he is just an average Uchiha, far from being able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan". 

"Moreover, the fact that he hired outsiders actually proves that he only suspects a small group of people." 

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and looked at Natsuo's information. "If he really guessed the truth, why would he hire outsiders so openly?" 

"The correct approach would be too pretend not to know anything and continue accumulating strength, right?" 

"Besides, the Uchiha clan leader is quite busy." 

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a hint of sarcasm, "Many kunoichis have joined the Uchiha clan. he can have a different wife every night. It's truly enviable..." 

"Cough, cough, it's despicable!" 

Danzo also understood this point. He understood even more that Natsuo's promiscuous lifestyle was a complete abandonment of progress in strength, lacking the pride of the Uchiha. 

Hiring outsiders only further proves that he only suspects a certain group of people... like himself? 

But... 

"That person is still an Uchiha!" Danzo's eyes were filled with hostility, and he thought to himself, "The dead Uchiha is the best Uchiha!" 

"The Uchiha clan should not exist in this world!" 

"Hiruzen, if you don't take action, then I will!" 

"I will bear the darkness of Konoha!" 

Root, begin the operation!
